We actually won a lot of the key metrics, besides the one that matters of course.

Some positives
Roberts I thought just got better and better.
Hobbs and Perkins found some ball in the second half.
Thought Jones really shows signs on a wing
Caldwell, Durham and Merrett fantastic.
Some bads
Shiel, McGrath, McKay, Reid, Prior, basically our entire backline was diabolical

Many of the same problems persist sadly.
Many of those are the fault of the extended coach. Basic skillz and Coast to farking coast Brad.
However some fight was at least good to see.
One sided umpiring, suprise.

I join Caroline Wilson on 0 tips.
I must say I thought we had given up multiple times throughout the match. but kept trying.
had a swans fan reach out and say umps crucified us with the McGrath call rushed behind and the Draper spoil was a bit soft as well.

When you need to give senior players a rev up at half time, so they get into the game…… then Your senior players are fairly sh*t

Reminds me of early 1984. They’re just too good at the moment.

I don’t see how we can beat Adelaide next week with no Langford and no Ridley.
And the fact we can’t defend

I wonder how much the round 0 non game affected the result. We were so rusty in the first quarter. Time to go back to all teams starting the same week.

Nowhere near as bad as some will suggest, or I feared. First game of the season. Very rusty and disorganized, started to control elements of the game, got ripped by the umps at some key times. Youngest team of the round.
Some familiar problems from some familiar names though. Keep turning them over. And sort out why we didn’t have a defensive tall crashing every pack, even after Ridley was subbed out. Lots of work to do. But keep playing Tsatas, Roberts , Caddy, Kako etc.
